How did you install Gnome? Which window managers do you have installed (e.g. metacity)? If you try starting a window manager after logging in (i.e. from an xterm), does it start without problems?
Do you have compiz installed? I just ran across a problem on Hardy where gnome-wm makes bad decisions when compiz is not installed (since compiz is its default). I have attached a patch which fixes that problem (compiz is selected regardless of whether or not it is installed) - but I am not sure if that is the problem you are experiencing. ** Attachment added: "Make gnome-wm check executability of $DEFWM before using it" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/11967721/gnome-session_test-wm-executable.patch ** Also affects: gnome-session Importance: Undecided Status: New -- gnome no window manager https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/154215 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
